How does this scoop do with a harder type cookie dough?

I had a thick cookie dough and it did fine. Like all scoops, it had to be cleaned out after about a dozen cookies dropped onto the baking sheet, but there isn't a scoop anywhere that doesn't need to have the dough removed from inside the scoop so that the slide works and pushes the dough out.

I've only used the 2 tsp (smallest) size. It makes cookies that are 2 inches wide. (Or 2 inches, if the dough is stiff enough not to spread as much.) I doubt if my information is all that helpful, but good luck.

The diameter is 1 5/16. I use this for all my baking. Perfect for cookie dough, mini cupcakes, mini meatballs. I like this scoop over OXO because the lever that helps to scoop the dough out is much stronger. Do not try to use it to scoop out hard refrigerated dough because it will bend the lever. This is my second scoop and my favorite by far and the price is right.

Yes! I have used it for sugar cookie dough. It is very durable. The way that the rollers adjust is well done doesn't have any give so I would imagine it can be used for almost any kind of dough.

I think it would work fine for one of the thinner batters, such as for making funnel cake. The times I've made donuts, they were more of a dough that you roll out and cut. I think it would take a special device to drop out donut dough.

If the dough is stiff this press will not be strong enough. The pressing mechanism is made of plastic and aluminum - much flimsier than you would expect in a cookie press.

Yes, this handles cookie dough well. The Dough hook is the best attachment to use for cookie dough with this particular mixer.

It has worked great on stiff cookie dough. It has a shaft that goes from the top of the around part to the bottom, where it turns, but I did not see any pins. There are teeth like that's turns the shaft that when you squeeze it the teeth mover the shaft that has slots on it. Sorry that is the best way I can explain it. I baked 600 cookies in 2 days and used it all the time with no problems.

I find the medium scoop is the best for most cookies, leveling it off against the side of the bowl. Ideally owning all 3 sizes are terrific.

Even the smallest scoop makes an average size cookie. The largest is an ice cream scoop. Unless your making really large ravioli, the smallest might even be too big.

It feels solid all the way down. We have a freezer unit that we run colder than the refrigerator freezer so ice cream from the freezer unit is always much harder. I would be surprised if this scoop can break like the last one we had that broke out of the handle. I am comfortable using as much force as I need to.

Use the dough hook for cookie dough. It works just fine. You might have to mix for a bit longer. I'm 73 and love the fact the mixer is light weight, stores on top of a cabinet and the bowl is light enough to allow me to pour and push things out with my limited strength. Pat H. Green Bay

Yes! It has a very strong motor. Use the dough hook rather than the roller for really stiff doughs.

It's supposed to be the cookie 'cutter'. You push it down on the cookies while they are 'in the dough' and they come out as shapes.

It is more like a waffle iron. The dough in most of the recipes is fairly thick, but is spooned into the indentations, no having to roll. For me, it works best when I thin the dough a little more than the recipes call for.

When you squeeze the release, the cookie dough or whatever you have scooped up pops out. It's easy and works great!

Yes....however, be cautious as to what "medium" you are mixing. The harder things like cookie dough are best used with paddles and the metal driver, where are batter which is looser is good with either driver, but best with the whips. I have bought both just in case as I have not owned a Bosch mixer in the past.....but LOVE the one I have now !!
